My company just bought an equipment and I'm trying to interface it with our

I have an application, written in VB5 which generates a .txt file. This

I've just installed VB6 Pro on a laptop. When I compile and run my program I
get a licence not found error message for the Grid Control.
I've been here before the last time I installed on another machine.
Unfortunately that was years ago and I can't remember what to do to fix it.
